Midenhall

3
Head back to the castle and go left to the training hall. Talk to the guard in attendance to start your training.
4

List of All Spells and Abilities
2 After arriving, head to the throne room, where the royals will task you with finding the Prince of Cannock. Once you receive this short quest, the Princess of Cannock will temporarily accompany you.

Wellspring of the Hero

1
Go to the Wellspring of the Hero, which you can access by heading east of Cannock.
2
Speak to the man inside to learn more about the Prince of Cannock's whereabouts. Afterwards, speak to the King of Midenhall.
*
From this point onward, it's recommended to fast travel instead, as moving from one place to another can get tedious. Use a Chimaera Wing or the Zoom spell to travel quickly, if you have it.
3
Head back to Leftwyne and go to the inn. Inside, you'll find the Prince of Cannock, who will join your party.
4
Head back to Cannock and speak to the royals again. The queen will give you Gwaelin's Pass, which you can use to access Gwaelin's Gate. The Princess of Cannock will also leave your party afterward.
